I think Israel will eventually get tired of it and they will whip the arab world into the stone age. People can only take it for so long and it is clear the arabs are not gonna stop, so it's about time Israel starts kicking butt. If I could, I would join the IDF and help them because Israel has done nothing to provoke the arabs in spite of how the liberal media plays it out on TV. It was proven the media stages things to make Israel look like the aggressor, when they are not. God Bless the USA and God bless the State of Israel!

Israel will survive. We need to modify our democratic system though. I don't believe that in its current form, it will allow us to survive.

Also, do you know what happens when you corner a tiger? Israel is a cornered tiger right now.

still there...do you know how old Israel is??

I do believe it will still exist. I think it's impossible to say what exactly will happen in the next 50 years of my personal life, let alone a heated situation amongst nations and cultures.

They still be standing strong.
Israel is the only real first world country in the Middle East.
Modern, democratic, free speech, equality for women, powerful economy and industry, one of the highest Per Capita Income.

I assume you mean Israel, the land. A second meaning for Israel is the people Israel.

Is it not a miracle that the people, Israel, have survived oppression and persecution over the past 2,000 years? What's another 50 years?

THE JEWS WON'T GO QUIETLY AGAIN
by Joe McCain, (brother of Senator John McCain)

There is a lot of worry popping up in the media just now -- "Can Israel Survive?"

Don't worry about it. It relates to something that Palestinians, the Arabs, and perhaps most Americans don't realize -- the Jews are never going quietly again. Never. And if the world doesn't come to understand that, then millions of Arabs are going to die. It's as simple as that.

Throughout the history of the world, the most abused, kicked-around race of people have been the Jews. Not just during the holocaust of World War II, but for thousands of years. They have truly been "The Chosen People" in a terrible and tragic sense.

The Bible story of Egypt's enslavement of the Jews is not just a story: it is history, if festooned with theological legend and heroic epics. In 70 A.D. the Romans, which had for a long time tolerated the Jews Ã‚Âev en admired them as 'superior' to other vassals -- tired of their truculent demands for independence and decided on an early "Solution" to the Jewish problem. Jerusalem was sacked and reduced to near rubble, Jewish resistance was pursued and crushed by the implacable Roman War Machine -- see'Masada'.

And thus began The Diaspora, the dispersal of Jews throughout the rest of the world.

Their homeland destroyed, their culture crushed, they looked desperately for the few niches in a hostile world where they could be safe. That safety was fragile, and often subject to the whims of moody hosts. The words 'pogrom', 'ghetto', and 'anti-Semitism' come from this treatment of the first mono-theistic people. Throughout Europe, changing times meant sometimes tolerance, sometimes even warmth for the Jews, but eventually it meant hostility, then malevolence. There is not a country in Europe or Western Asia that at one time or anothe r has not decided to lash out against the children of Moses, sometimes by whim, sometimes by manipulation.

Winston Churchill calls Edward I one of England's very greatest kings. It was under his rule in the late 1200's that Wales and Cornwall were hammered into the British crown, and Scotland and Ireland were invaded and occupied. He was also the first European monarch to set up a really effective administrative bureaucracy, surveyed and censured his kingdom, established laws and political divisions. But he also embraced the Jews. Actually Edward didn't embrace Jews so much as he embraced their money. For the English Jews had acquired wealth -- understandable, because this people that could not own land or office, could not join most of the trades and professions, soon found out that money was a very good thing to accumulate. Much harder to take away than land or a store, was a hidden sock of gold and silver coins. Ever resourceful, Edward found a way -- he borrowed money from the Jews to finance imperial ambitions in Europe, especially France.

The loans were almost certainly not made gladly, but how do you refuse your King? Especially when he is 'Edward the Hammer'. Then, rather than pay back the debt, Edward simply expelled the Jews. Edward was especially inventive -- he did this twice. After a time, he invited the Jews back to their English homeland, borrowed more money, then expelled them again.

Most people do not know that Spain was one of the early entrants into The Renaissance. People from all over the world came to Spain in the late medieval period. All were welcome -- Arabs, Jews, other Europeans. The University of Salamanca was one of the great centers of learning in the world -- scholars of all nations, all fields came to Salamanca to share their knowledge and their ideas. But in 1492, Ferdinand and Isabella, having driven the last of Moors from the Spanish S hield, were persuaded by the righteous fundamentalists of the time to announce "The Act of Purification". A series of steps were taken in which all Jews and Arabs and other non-Christians were expelled from the country, or would face the tools and the torches of The Inquisition. From this 'cleansing' come the Sephardic Jews -- as opposed to the Ashkenazis of Eastern Europe. In Eastern Europe, the sporadic violence and brutality against Jews are common knowledge. 'Fiddler' without the music and the folksy humor. At times of fury, no accommodation by the Jew was good enough, no profile low enough, no village poor enough or distant enough.

From these come the near-steady flow of Jews to the United States. And despite the disdain of the Jews by most 'American' Americans, they came to grab the American Dream with both hands, and contributed everything from new ideas of enterprise in retail and entertainment to becoming some of our finest physic ians and lawyers. The modern United States, in spite of itself, IS the United States in part because of its Jewish blood.

Then the Nazi Holocaust -- the corralling, sorting, orderly eradication of millions of the people of Moses. Not something that other realms in other times didn't try to do, by the way, the Germans were just more organized and had better murder technology.

I stood in the center of Dachau for an entire day, about 15 years ago, trying to comprehend how this could have happened. I had gone there on aside trip from Munich, vaguely curious about this Dachau. I soon became engulfed in the enormity of what had occurred there nestled in this middle and working class neighborhood.

How could human beings do this to other human beings, hear their cries, their pleas, their terror, their pain, and continue without apparently even wincing? I no longer wonder. At some times, some places, ANY sect of the human race is capable of horrors against their fellow man, whether a member of the Waffen SS, a Serbian sniper, a Turkish policeman in 1920's Armenia, a Mississippi Klansman. Because even in the United States not all was a Rose Garden. For a long time Jews had quotas in our universities and graduate schools. Only so many Jews could be in a medical or law school at one time. Jews were disparaged widely. I remember as a kid Jewish jokes told without a wince - "Why do Jews have such big noses?"

Well, now the Jews have a homeland again. A place that is theirs. And that's the point. It doesn't matter how many times the United States and European powers try to rein in Israel, if it comes down to survival of its nation, its people, they will fight like no lioness has ever fought to save her cubs.
They will fight with a ferocity, a determination, and a skill, that will astound us. And many will die, mostly their attackers, I believe. If there were a macabre historical betting parlor, my money would be on the Israelis to be standing at the end. As we killed the kamikazes and the Wehrmacht soldaten of World War II, so will the Israelis kill their suicidal attackers, until there are not enough to torment them.

The irony goes unnoticed -- while we are hammering away to punish those who brought the horrors of last September here, we restrain the Israelis from the same retaliation. Not the same thing, of course -- We are We, They are They. While we mourn and seethe at September 11th, we don't notice that Israel has a September 11th sometimes every day.

We may not notice, but it doesn't make any difference. And it doesn't make any difference whether you are pro-Israeli or you think Israel is the bully of the Middle East. If it comes to where a new holocaust looms -- with or without the concurrence of the United States and Europe -- Israel will lash out without pause or restraint at those who would try to annihilate their country.

The Jews will not go quietly again.

Yeah, unfortunately, they will conquer more Arab countries and claim it to themselves. I believe that they will conquer Lebanon & Syria in the very coming soon. It's just the Israeli government's attitude to have fun in conquering land and killing innocent people.

northmiaâ€¦:
Not really! The city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates is a first world city in the Middle East, and is doing so well and has the highest peace percentage in the Middle East. Moreover, it is the world's fastest improving city in the world -although it's only part of a 30 year old country.

NASA

they will still be here but like always fighting

SmartAleck

yes, i do think they will exist. however, i do not think that there will ever truly be peace in the middle east.

that part of the world has been in constant upheaval since the dawn of civilization. and as long as all of those countries are run by men, and not the mothers of the children that are taught to die for no other reason than obtaining a piece of land the size of new jersey, there will not be peace.

Something needs to be done. I want to see Palestinians have their own land. I also would like to see the U.S. stop sending 4+ billion dollars to Israel every year.

papars

Israel will exist...after all, that's what the Holy Bible says of the Promised Land. What remains to be seen is whether Israelis as a people will preserve it as a promised land or spend more years in the wilderness, disobeying His commands again. Shalom.

Armchair Warrior

It will take over the world.

Yes. Israel will always be victorious. Those who curse Israel will be cursed.

tubafreak911

Israel will be here forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.......................................

Why not ??
and also, it will get bigger .. !

moneymaker

If it keeps electing olmerts and perezes, than the answer is no it won't.
If it takes care of business, and stands real tough on its enemies, and stops believing in ridiculous "land for peace" fairy-tales, and in general becomes more spiritual rather than materialistic, than the answer is yes it will stay strong for ages and ages to come.
Looking at its history there is just no doubt in my mind that it was chosen for something extra special.

bia bia

Only G.D knows the answer to this one. I just hope the needless murderous regime is stopped before many more die under it's brutal aggression and occupation.

tarek c

If they keep being condescending monsters and war lovers, then no they will end up like Rome broken and divided
if they start to treat people with respect instead of slaughtering them then maybe
what do you expect from people who let their children sign on cluster bombs......

mark

The future of the Holy land as Fatah predicted 40 years ago one state for all where Jews and Christians and Muslims live in peace in front of the law. No other political party from both sides have a lasting peace like that of Fatah peace plan. Be on the side of peace if you love the holy land as we do.

Depends... Israel as a country or as a nation?

In political geography and international politics a country is a geographical entity, a territory.

Now, one of the most influential doctrines in history is that all humans are divided into groups called nations. It is an ethical and philosophical doctrine in itself, and is the starting point for the ideology of nationalism. Members of a "nation" share a common identity, and usually a common origin, in the sense of ancestry, parentage or descent. A nation extends across generations, and includes the dead as full members. Past events are framed in this context; for example; by referring to "our soldiers" in conflicts which took place hundreds of years ago. More vaguely, nations are assumed to include future generations.

So, as a country, I am not sure. As a nation, they will still be there... they have been for hundreds of years.

Year of the Monkey

I think it will be attacked more and more by racist and religious fanatics who think Jews don't deserve a country like every other people, and I also think some of that attack will be brought on by the Israeli military overreacting and killing too many civilians, and the US will intervene, and then some idiot will get caught with a nuclear bomb, perhaps an Iranian one, and WWIII will be underway, Middle East vs. West and israel.

The result will be a middle east conquered and colonized by Europe, Russia, the US and China, and it will be terrible and awful and regrettable, as well as inevitable.

Bonnie Lynn

I think it may receive a "strike" (possibly nuclear) in the next 5 years.
Yes, it will exist, just in different form. (glazed over)
Israel may send them also.

EDIT:
I do support Israel and I do reserve the right to understand the possibilities of these times we live.
History does tell of shocking events that people did'nt want to believe.
Scary thing is.....target our "Defense Satellites"....then what?
USA will be defenseless...a hit may happen.
Remember the destroying of old satellites? They just wanted to be sure they could weaken us....in the near future.
Reality sucks...but this is a big possibility.
(WWIII is inevitable)

Farm bred, grain fed, all natura

They will be attacked by an alliance consisting of Russia, Iran, and Syria and those attacking armies will be destroyed. Israel will have a huge revival and most of the people will become Christians. At least that's what it says in the book I am reading.
